We are currently working on our debating skills. On Thursday, we did an activity where half the class had to come up with arguments supporting a statement, the other half arguments against the statement.
We will do the same on Monday, but you will not be allowed to prepare as a team. This means you'll need to think on your feet and have a few points prepared, so you don't repeat the point made by someone else on your team.
So start having a think about it over the weekend. The statement to debate on Monday is:
'Girls and boys should be in separate classes at school.'
(DON'T post your ideas as comments though, you don't want to give your best ideas away - just this once it's not about sharing!)
Remember to think about reasons both for and against, regardless of what your own opinion is.
